U r] The refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading an average of 20 trailers per day. Each transfer trailer holds approximately 22 tons of waste. Therefore, the number of transfer trucks per day multiplied by 22 equals a standard throughput of 440 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. The maximum refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading 32 trailers per day. Therefore, the maximum number of transfer trucks per day multiplied by 22 equals a maximum throughput of 704 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. 2.9 Disposal of Solid Waste (Non -Recyclable Items) Non -recyclable solid waste is deposited in refuse transfer vehicles, and transported to a disposal facility permitted to receive this material. At this time, normal operations call for all non - recyclable material to be transferred to the Foothill Sanitary Landfill. Other disposal facilities may be used if the Foothill Landfill is not available. This refuse is loaded into transfer trucks through the loading chute at the north end of the MRF using an articulated 'clam -shell" loading arm. Refuse falls through the chute into a refuse transfer vehicle located under an opening in the floor above the transfer tunnel. Most refuse received in a day is transferred to a disposal facility that same day; however, the quantity of refuse received may require that material be stored in the Transfer Station overnight. 2.10 TRANSFER RECOVERY, AND PROCESSING EQUIPMENT The equipment on site serves operational and maintenance needs A detailed list of current equipment is shown in (Table 4).
